Sometimes I wish
I was a bird
So that I could fly away
From concrete jungles
And steel empires
To chase the dying sun

A reminder to protect my energy and reiterate boundaries. Holidays mean being around family members, friends, coworkers that may be toxic

Even if I’m just screaming into a void here… at least it’s still better than hurting someone else with careless words elsewhere.

I can’t stop thinking about how people have replaced discourse with - how do I say this - attempts to look/sound “cool”? Snarky comments for likes?
I just… I find it sad how many of us have forgotten to be kind. What good does it do to bully someone into never again sharing their spark or passion?

Words matter. They do.
They can be the hug that soothes an aching heart, or the knife that digs deeper.
Words can heal, and words can kill. So why do we speak so recklessly with each other?
If the next thing you say can save or end a life… then choose your words carefully. Please.

I walk alone through an old tunnel,
With barely a glimmer of light
Shining from my rusty torch,
But I know I’ll make it -
Until then, I will
Cry, “The horrors
Persist, but
So do
I!”

Burning bridges, walls and halls?

Not all birds fly south for the winter
Some of them choose to stay behind
And so they learn to adapt
In the harshest weather
In such unique ways
That they persist
From winter
Until
Spring

I wonder if I should even continue posting on this account. I wonder if it’s even worth it. It’s not like I’m making a difference here…
My own life is filled with disappointments and broken dreams. Why should I carry on alone? Why bother?

PSA: Check on the people you care about. They may not be feeling okay and just need to know that someone cares.
Sincerely,
This stranger who’s not feeling okay today

Sometimes I stop to think and wonder
If we’re all just tiny white stars
Spread out across the night sky
Who can see all other
Stars shining brightly
Except our own
Yet we do
In fact
Shine

Washes over me
Like a wave on hot sand
As my mind turns still
To hear the angels sing

In a world that loves to shout,
Reading is rebellion
Against bullies sowing doubt
In a world that loves to shout,
And against certain “devout”
Bigots in vermilion.
In a world that loves to shout,
Reading is rebellion.
